_ collage series pt. 4 - "meat"

In this collage series, I only used pictures that I collected on Tumblr. For this piece, I once again strayed even further from traumacore. The interpretation for this is more open than the others due to the experiences being referenced being more abstract than previous ones.

The collage was made using ibisPaint on an HP Envy laptop.

_ collage series pt. 1 - "doll"

In this collage series, I only used pictures that I collected on Tumblr. For this piece, I took inspiration from weirdcore and traumacore, which were both aesthetics that I was deeply interested in and even partook in during my younger teen years.

_ wood zen garden

Materials : - 2in by 6in by 8ft lumber - Acrylic paint

Used a chop saw for all of the bigger cuts, including the 45° angle cuts for the frame of the box. For the fake stones and mini rake, I free handed them and used a mixture of a band saw for cutting, a belt sander for the majority of the sanding, and then a spindle sander to smooth out inner curves.

The box was assembled with both wood glue and brad nails. The inside of the box and fake stones were painted with acrylic paint.
